To Have Compassion

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into the wisdom necessary to have love and understanding for our fellow man as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even as we search for Your Way to decide our thoughts and deeds, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
